Our crappy vendor software will only function if IPv6 is disabled network wide. Even if one machine has it enabled, the whole thing breaks
Lol our former crappy vendor solution required to be run directly from AD Administrator. Pure luck the entire business didn't collapse before we replaced it.
A thread I read a long time ago on r/sysadmin
Reminds me of software saying to put your docker socket into the docker container you are starting for convenience.
Reminds me of all of those vendors that require Windows Admin for no reason.
Looking at you quickbooks network shares...
Its not like QuickBooks are sensitive data or anything
More like I come in to fix someone's aging infrastructure and find a QuickBooks share with read/write everyone because people are too lazy to RTFM.
That's the supported configuration. There support will not support anything else. It is total BS which makes sense because they want to silo you to the cloud
Tell me you use Ubuntu without telling me you use Ubuntu.
Wait till you try this on Debian or non Ubuntu variants.
then at first day of work:
just use sudo su, we don't have all day here.
sudo steam
Sometimes your package manager asks you for root password every minute while doing few hours long update and cancelling process if you don't enter anything for few minutes, "yay" aur manager looking at you, and you got to do other things than sit and look in the monitor all day long, things like cleaning house or touching grass for example
sudo visudo
At the end:
Defaults:USER timestamp_timeout=30
USER is obviously changed to your username.
Thank you
If I remember correctly the default sudo timeout is set to 5 minutes on Yay, you should be able to increase it to something more reasonable
Thank you
Wasn't it 2017 where they had the race condition in sudo su as the command elevates up to root and drops back down?
Every other year, sudo su was not unsafe but merely ghetto. 'sudo su' is the dutch-rudder of 'sudo'.
Come on! I've stopped logging on as root, can't we just leave it at that?
just worked a job where I did not have privlages to sudo commands. except su. had to sudo su so I could run a script.
Could you not just use root to give your user sudo? Seems like a pretty dumb restriction
Possibly but my role was such Im really only supposed to be working on my project and not monkey with the server which is used by other projects. I don't think it was a restriction I think it was just laziness by whoever set it up.
Fair enough. Got a colleague who sudo nanos everything then wonders why he keeps getting permission denied errors later lol
...file in ~/.config...
- sudo nano /path/to/file... yeah, I wanna fucking save changes... OK, let's see if it works... damn it, this distro fucking sucks man!
Guilty as charged, officer.
I bet you distro hop a lot.
I get tired of typing the same command twice.
helenslunch doesn't know about
sudo !!
Not even arrow keys
